The Gastown-Hastings Community Policing Centre is pleased to continue its Neighbourhood Together outreach series with a community event in recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day.

Join us on Water Street in Gastown alongside local vendors and community partners as we raise awareness about overdose prevention, response, and available community resources. Community members are invited to stop by to learn how to recognize the signs of an overdose, what to do in an emergency, and how naloxone can help save lives.

We will be distributing naloxone kits, overdose awareness information, community safety materials, and mental health resource brochures. This event will also provide an opportunity for community members to share their experiences, stories, and perspectives in a supportive and respectful environment.

Together, we can help reduce stigma, promote awareness, and strengthen community connections through education and conversation.
